Moved in!

Thanks to very generous family members (Larry, Lorrie, Sharon, Mom, various relatives in the states of Colorado and Utah) Alan and I officially have all of our possessions in house. We're slowly getting settled in and the more items we unpack the more it feels like home in our little apartment!

I thought I'd share a little photo update of life over the past week or so. Enjoy!

Alan, now an official "biker dude."



Me making sure the helmet is up to my safety standards.



Marti came down with another tummy rash, a la her previous itch-fest. Because all of our stuff was still on the way, and therefore the lampshade unavailable, Alan had to resort to creative measures to get Marti to leave her belly alone.



She has since been diagnosed as a "flank licker," which means she's most likely a headcase rather than an allergic beast.

And as if she wasn't expensive enough, Marti has now taken to literally consuming money.



Drive two through the western Utah/Nevada countryside.




Thank goodness for beautiful California. As soon as you cross the border, the landscape changes.



Marti, super relieved to be out of the kennel, with a couch again, where she can sleepily watch my every move as I work.
